Re: deceased retirement and insurance claim

Why should you need to see the forms if you've already been informed that neither you nor your children are listed as beneficiaries under your former husband's life insurance policy?

Unless there is some kind of court order which requires that he maintain you and the children as named beneficiaries under this policy, your former spouse is free to designate any person(s) he chooses as such beneficiaries.
